Too bad that I missed the discussion, changing the plugin.xml
structure is a bummer for people that heavily use the plugin system.
I can not understand why developers take so much care that the java
API does not change
(using wrapper objects etc.) but than changing XML structures just to
have a content assist also for xml files.
Anyway my fault, I missed the discussion about this issue.
Thanks for clarification.

Hi Stefan,
The DTD actually does allow for custom attributes: Jerome
factored them
out of the form:
<implementation
<your_attr_name>="<your_attr_value>"
<your_attr2_name>="<your_attr2_value>"
.....
Into the form:
<implementation
...
<parameter name="<your_attr_name>" value="<your_attr_value>"/>
<parameter name="<your_attr2_name>" value="<your_attr2_value>"/>
</implementation>
...
See the difference? Using the parameter tags, we can have a generic
DTD that
supports any parameter name and value. The other way, I had to go
through
all the plugin.xml files, and then add them to the attlist for the
implementation tags, which probably isn't the way that we want to
do it.
That way, you have to change the DTD every time you introduce a new
attribute to a plugin.xml file.
Thanks!
Cheers,
Chris

Hi,
Looks like the dtd does not allow custom attributes in extension
definition nodes.
This would be very contra productive for custom plugins and one idea
of a plugin system is to have custom plugins.
Can this be fixed by allowing any kind of custom attributes?
Thanks.
Stefan
